TAWS post #48 - Congrats

Greetings TAWS friends!! Today I bring you a special card that is near and dear to my heart. This was the card that I made for my brother and his wife for their wedding last weekend! It was their perfect day and I was so honored to be able to celebrate with them. I used two of my very favorite Alley Way sets called Big Chatter (sentiment) and Flower Doodles (background). I started by stamping the flowers using Hero Arts Unicorn White pigment ink and heat setting them with clear embossing powder. White powder can sometimes be messy on a big piece like this which is why I went with the clear powder.

Once my background panel was complete, I stamped my sentiment onto really good quality vellum. I stamped it using SU! black pigment ink and heat set, once again, using clear embossing powder. I didn't want to have any stray embossing powder on the vellum and the clear powder with the black ink really helps control that issue.

I stitched the vellum to my background panel and mounted it all onto a piece of orangy/red cardstock (my sister-in-law's favorite color) and added it all to a white card base. I added one sparkly heart and voila! The day was as amazing and wonderful as they are!

I know they will have a lifetime of happiness - what a match made in heaven!

I'm a stay at home wife to my darling hubby of almost 19 years. I'm also a homeschooling Mum of 3 small, beautiful, delicious and often sticky children and a gorgeous and sweet pitbull named Katie.
I've always loved art, crafting and photography. I find time every single day to work one or all of these into the mere 24 hours that we have daily. I find it fulfills my soul, my mind and keeps my "zen" in check.
